ShouldBHappy, I am glad to hear that you are coming OUT of cronic illness. It really is the pits.
I feel that our sex life is TOTALLY controlled by him and that is not a happy place for me. I miss being able to say "hey - race you to the bedroom". Now we have sex only when he wants/needs sex and sometimes it is definetly one sided sex that really gives me the reds.
When we have discussed the situation he tells me not to quit asking but damn - I'm not made of steel - actually I am quite fragile. I HATE being turned down. It put a black cloud over my day.
These last three posts have really helped me look at things from a different perspective and I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart.
I had reached a point to where I felt totally selfish in my desires. I do want more balance and I will continue to try to reach it.
